Ex nihilo, 2011, by Méadhbh O’Connor. Ex nihilo – ‘out of nothing’. Unidentified living organisms cultivated from a swab of the Book of Genisis in a Victorian family Bible, and grown inside an hourglass.

Made in response to The Legs Foundation for the Translation of Things (LFTT), directed and founded by Helen Horgan. The LFTT Library, inherited from the Multyfarnham Franciscan Friary, is a travelling library in which artists, academics and other interested parties are invited to study, read, create artworks or hold events within or derived from this library.
